EPL: In-Form Aston Villa Host Leaders Arsenal this Weekend LIVE on SuperSport
Aston Villa’s resurgence under Unai Emery faces its sternest test yet as they welcome Premier League leaders Arsenal to Villa Park on Saturday afternoon.
The clash, set for 1:30 p.m., will be broadcast live on SS Premier League (DStv Ch. 203, GOtv Ch. 65). Villa have climbed to third after four consecutive victories, including a dramatic 4–3 triumph over Brighton, while Arsenal remain five points clear at the summit following a composed 2–0 win over Brentford.
Both sides enter the contest as the division’s most in-form teams, promising a high-stakes encounter.
Later that day at 4:00 p.m., Manchester City host Sunderland at the Etihad. Pep Guardiola’s side edged Fulham 5–4 in a thrilling midweek battle and sit second, one point ahead of Chelsea.
Sunderland, with just one win in their last five, face a daunting challenge against City’s relentless pursuit of Arsenal. At the same time, Tottenham take on Brentford at home.
Spurs are enduring a miserable run, winless in six and languishing in 11th place, while Brentford, inconsistent but resilient, will look to bounce back after their defeat to Arsenal. This fixture will be live on SS Football (GOtv Ch. 61, DStv Ch. 205).
Leeds United meet Liverpool at 6:30 p.m. in a contest shaped by contrasting fortunes. Leeds snapped a four-match losing streak with a morale-boosting win over Chelsea, while Liverpool, held to a 1–1 draw by Sunderland, continue to struggle for rhythm and consistency.
Sunday’s action sees Fulham host Crystal Palace at 5:30 p.m. Fulham showed remarkable fight in their narrow 5–4 defeat to City, clawing back from 5–1 down, and will hope to build on their spirited displays. Palace, sitting fifth, remain stubborn opponents with three wins from their last six.
The round concludes on Monday night at 9:00 p.m. when Wolves welcome Manchester United. United have managed just one win in their last five, following a 1–1 draw against West Ham, while Wolves, rooted to the bottom with twelve defeats in fourteen matches, are desperate for any sign of revival.
All matches across the weekend will be live on SuperSport Premier League on DStv and GOtv.
